FLINT, MI – There’s a time and a place to show love, but the basketball court isn’t one of them, despite it being Valentine’s Day Week.

Save the hugs and kisses for before and after the game, because between the lines of the basketball court, it’s all business. The postseason is right around the corner and tournament seeding is becoming important, so there isn’t any time for fun and games for Flint-area schools.

Many teams have to focus even harder because they’re playing three games this week to make up for winter conditions that cancelled action. It’s tough to be cold-blooded on such a loving week, but the best teams will block out all distractions to collect victories. Winning is all that matters at this time of the year.

In the words of Tina Turner, what's love got to do with it?
